The name "Remeth" means "height" or "elevation," suggesting its geographical positioning. This town is also referred to as "Jarmuth" in some biblical texts, indicating a possible dual name or a change over time. The location of Remeth is not precisely identified today, but it is believed to have been situated in the fertile Jezreel Valley, an area known for its agricultural productivity. This region's fertility would have been significant for the tribe of Issachar, known for its agricultural prowess.<p><b>En-gannim</b><br>En-gannim, meaning "spring of gardens," indicates a place with abundant water sources, making it ideal for cultivation and settlement. This town is identified with the modern-day Jenin, located at the northern edge of the West Bank. En-gannim's strategic location at the crossroads of major trade routes would have made it an important site for commerce and interaction with neighboring regions. The presence of gardens and springs aligns with the biblical imagery of a land flowing with milk and honey, symbolizing God's provision and blessing.<p><b>En-haddah</b><br>En-haddah, meaning "swift spring," suggests a location with a rapidly flowing water source. The exact location of En-haddah is not known today, but its name implies a place of refreshment and sustenance. Water sources were crucial in the ancient Near East, often determining the viability of a settlement. The mention of En-haddah highlights the importance of water in sustaining life and prosperity, reflecting God's provision for His people in the Promised Land.<p><b>Beth-pazzez</b><br>Beth-pazzez, meaning "house of dispersion," may indicate a place where people gathered or dispersed. The exact location of Beth-pazzez is uncertain, but it is thought to have been in the vicinity of the other towns listed. The name could suggest a place of gathering for worship or community activities, reflecting the social and religious life of the Israelites. The concept of dispersion also resonates with the broader biblical theme of God's people being scattered and gathered, as seen in the exile and return narratives.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/r/remeth.htm">Remeth</a></b><br>A town allocated to the tribe of Issachar.
